If Ford had not made probably the greatest gaffe in a general election debate, when he stated that there is no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe, he most likely would have won.
It was an interesting election. Unlike today, there were TONS of ticket splitting, and the parties were not as nearly as polarized ideologically. Eleven states were decided by margin of less than 2%; twenty were decided by less than 5%. In only 3 states did the winner receive 60%+ of the vote.
